What happens if you don't do a water change afterwards? Or, you get the
measurements wrong and add 5 times too much and don't realise? If nitrate
and phosphate don't cause algae is there any harm in overdosing?

Just another thought: If you overdose, would the phosphate cause a problem
with the pH controller for C02 injection? Too much feeding = too little C02?
